Three barrels of domaine fruit and one purchased, not racked yet. Pale lemon colour. Quite a discreet nose though with a sense of some power behind. Certainly builds to the back, and delivers a punch to finish. Very good tension and power.

The Batard-Montrachet is one of Chartron’s prominent sucesses in the 2019 vintage. It is a refined Batard with a sensual, finely expressive character: effortless, one could say, with a silky feel. The nose is airy, but it is nevertheless a substantial wine, with exotic notes of white peach, cloudberries, and almonds. I feel rewarded! While not quite matching the Chevalier, the hedonistic feeling is there.

The 2019 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru comprises three barrels from the domaine supplemented by one from another source. It has a strict nose: crushed stone, flint, red apples and then as it opens, a touch of kerosene. The palate is medium-bodied with immense concentration matched with a fine bead of acidity. There is some creamy oak to be subsumed, but I admire the persistence and length on the finish. Great potential.
